Keep your Houfy calendar synced with your VRBO bookings by importing your VRBO iCal URL. This prevents double bookings and keeps your availability up-to-date across both platforms.

Step 1: Get Your VRBO iCal URL
1. Log into your VRBO account at vrbo.com
2. Navigate to your property dashboard and select the property you want to sync
3. Access Calendar Settings:
Click on the "Calendar" tab
Look for "Import/Export" or "Calendar Sync" option
This may be under "Settings" or "More Options"
4. Find the Export/iCal section:
Look for "Export Calendar" or "iCal Export"
Copy your iCal URL (it will look like: https://www.vrbo.com/icalendar/[unique-code].ics)
Step 2: Import to Houfy
Go to Manage Listings and open the listing you want to sync.
Click Calendar.
Click Import in the calendar toolbar. The Import Calendar window opens on the Import New tab.
Paste your VRBO iCal URL into the iCal URL field.
Optional: type a Calendar Name (for example "VRBO") and pick a colour, so you can tell this feed apart on your calendar.
Under Import Options, choose one:
Everything (the default) - imports reservations and blocked dates.
Only Reservations - imports only events whose summary says Reserved, Booked or Confirmed.
Click Import Calendar.
Done!
Your VRBO bookings now sync to your Houfy calendar automatically; updates typically take a few hours to appear. To pull changes straight away, click Import again, switch to the Synced tab and press the sync button next to the calendar.
